Abstract
A medical device is configured to deliver a series of electrical stimulation pulses including opposing polarity pulses. The medical device delivers a charge balancing pulse by modifying every nth pulse of the electrical stimulation pulses to reduce a net charge delivered over the series of electrical stimulation pulses. In some examples, the medical device may be an implantable medical device that is coupled to an extra-cardiovascular lead for delivering the cardiac pacing pulses.
